Snow Days, Anna Nicole and Other Weirdness
While the rest of the county had "snow days" yesterday and today we who work from home are not so lucky. The phones still need to be answered, email replied to and whatever else you can manage to get accomplished when you can't get out of the driveway. Oh yeah, and shoveling said driveway. Can't snuggle up with a good book and ignore the phone and emails. When your office is in your home you can never get away from it.
I don't know about you but I had had enough of the media hoopla surrounding Ms. Smith following the birth of the baby and the death of her son. The poor thing led her life in the tabloid press. Leave the woman alone. No one gave her any peace to grieve her son or rejoyce in her daughter. Now she's gone.
Sure it was a weird life, she was someone who was famous for being famous and not for any real talent or achievement - unless you can call knowing where the cameras are at all times a talent. But enough already. The vultures are circling, the baby is being fought over and the poor woman's body is up for grabs. Enough already!
Speaking of weirdness... thanks to the wonderful weather any thoughts of actually sticking to the exercise program have flown away. In the last two weeks each class has either been canceled or delayed to the point where I can't attend. Is the universe against me now? It's bad enough when I can't discipline myself out of simple "I just don't care" but now this?
Classes at school are also beyond weird. An economics class is asking us to use calculus as part of "basic business math". Okay I asked around nobody does this. Nobody. I barely got through algebra almost 30 years ago and this guy expects me to pick up calculus, tells me it is "easy". Uh-huh. Cue the Twilight Zone theme music. I have two classes left. This one and an overview course. That's 11 weeks (12 if you count the day before yesterday for this week) and I'm done. Now is not the time to be pulling calculus out of thin air.
So we have snow, a psychotic professor, an exercise program squashed by Mother Nature and a poor dead woman who the world will not let rest in peace. Oh yeah, we got weirdness...
